BILLS WHICH WE'RE SIGNED-THE TRADE DOLLAR
AND ANTI-POLYGAMY BILLS BECOME LAWS WITH
OUT HIS SIGNATURE
The President did not go to the Capitol last
evening, but remained on duty at the White
House nearly the entire night TO consider bills
which were awaiting his action. Members OF the
cabinet were also present at the White House at
intervals during the night and aided the PreSi-
dent In his work. The trade dollar bill and the
antt-polyg gamy bill were allowed to become laws
without the Presidents signature. He examined
them carefully and, while they contained some
provisions 10 which he preferred not to commit
himself, he was unwilling TO defeat the objects OF
the measures by a veto. Among the bills he
signed were the following OF local Interest: Joint
resolution authorizing the printing OF $500 extra
copies or the report or the health officer; author
ning the treasurer OF the United States To credit
the District OF Columbia with certain moneys in
lieu OF investing the same In bonds; for the re-
nef OF ST. Dominics church, In the District OF Co
lunoia, ana 20 quiet title To certain lands in this
city: Other bills approved last evening were: The
act Tor the construction OF q bridge across the
East river between New York and Long Island:
the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill :
the agricultural appropriation bill; the act to ne.
strict the ownership OF real eastate in the terri
tories 70 American citizens; the Pacific railroad
inquiry bill

White House and Capitol.


THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET, AFTER A EUSY MORN
Ing AT THE EXECUTIVE MANSION, GO TO THE
HALLS OF LEGISLATION.
The active interest In matters up town this
morning was centered in the White House.
Routine business in the various executive depart
mentS was conducted as usual, but every body was
interested In knowing what would be done and
what would be left undOne by the retiring Con-
gresS, and awaited the hour OF twlllve with eager
expectancy. At the White House everything was
quiet, but lots OF work was being ACCOMPLISHED
The President and members OF the cabinet were
clOseted TO attend TO business incident to the
closing hours with as much rapidity as possible
III order that there might be no interruption, all
callers who had business with the President or
even With the Office, were requested TO take Seat
In the ante-room until after twelve O'Clock
AT sixteen minutes 10 twelve the President and
his cabinet, together with Col. Lamont and Mr..
Pruden, entered carriages ana were rapidly driven
TO the Capitol. The President was decided upon
this course by Geographic message from Speaker
Carlisle that unesS he caIne 10 the Capitol there
was danger OF the failure OF the District appropri-
The Attorney General rode In the secretary Of
Wars carriage, and for once sighted both the
street car and the sidewalk.
The President and cabinet reached the Capitol at
twelve O'Clock, actual time. The clocks OF the two
houses were set back.
The President returned to the White House after
an absence OF exactly an hour. In the carriage
with him were Assistant Secretary Fairchild and
Col. Lamont. The District appropriation bill was
was sent from the White House that the President
was coming, and IL was held until he got there.
The deficiency bill was the magnet that drew the
President To the capitol.

SCENES AT THE CAPITOL.
SETTING BACK THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK-THR DIS
TRICT APPROPRIATION BILL SIGNED.

TRICr APPROPRIATION BILL SIGNED.
AS usual ON the last day OF a session the Senate
corridors and galleries were crowded almost to
suffocation. In the galleries even the aises were
packed, and hundreds stood without, endeavoring
to peep over the shoulders OF those in front.
When the news was circulated that the President
had left the White House for the Capitol there
was swaying OF the crowds In the corridors and
general rush towards the lower floor to get
sight OF the Chief Magistrate. Policemen were
stationed all along the Senate wing to prevent
rush upon the President As the
minutes wore on anxious inquiries as
to the Presidents whereabouts were exchanged
among Senators. Representatives, pushed
their way through the mass OF humanity in the
main corridor, and eagerly inquired IL the Presi-
dent had arrived. The fear that some OF the i'm
pOrtant bills might fail because OF his nOn-arrival
or OF his detention from some cause, became gen.
eral, and anxiety was depicted upon many coun-
tenance. As the minute hand upon the clock stole
on toward twelve this lear increased, but II was
somewhat relieved by the old eXpedient OF turning
back the hands.
AT seven minutes towards twelve the private
stairway northwest OF the Senate chamber was
cleared, and il was announced tnat the President
had entered the building. In moment or Two he
appeared, accompanied 10y Secretaries Bayard and
Falrchild Postmaster General Villas and Col. La
mont. He was ushered into the Presidents room,
where the District appropriation, which but few
moments before had received the signature of
President Pro Tempore ingalls,, was ready for
his approval, along with other measures.
With a bow of recognition TO Senator salisbury
and others, but without stopping TO shake hands
or exchange greeting, the President proceeded TO
the task at hand. Meantime there was a terrible
pressure from the throng OF curious people to see
the President, and IL was with dlllculty thaJ the
police could restrain them.
AT five minutes to II by the Senate clock, which
had been turned back fifteen minutes, Senators
Sherman and salisbury, the committee appointed
to wait on the President, announced that he haG
no further communications. senator Ingalls,
briefly proclaimed that the hour OF hnal adjourn
ment had arrived, and with a rap OF the gavel de-
clared the senate adjourned sine die. The Presi-
dent occupied but three minutes in disposng OF
the District appropriation bill Senator Plumb,
who was present. briefly outlined the substance OF
the conference agreement, and the President ap-
pended his signature.
THE PRESIDENTS INF0RAAL RECEPTION.
The President remained In his room for about
fifteen minutes after Congress adjourned, and he
held quite a reception. Many OF the senators OF
both parties dropped in to pay their respects, and
some of the House members also called. The Pres
tdent waited until the crowds had pretty well left
the building and then went out by the same stair
case that he entered

I've captured so many runaway boys at the
Union depot in the last few months that
people have got to thinking it's my speciality
as if policeman could have speciality.
But have got my eyes trained pretty well
by this time to look after runaway boys, and
/ flattcr myself that l can tell one Of the
chaps as soon as see him. You see, tho run
away boy is never experienced, either i'll
travelling or any of the ways of the world,
and he betrays himself very quickly if lie is
given an opportunity He generally appears
at the depot in pairs, and If the two don't do
something very singular in buying their
tickets they arc certain to tripin finding their
way to the train and getting on board Some
they are loaded down with fashy papers or
hooks, and sometimes they are armed to the
teeth with pistols, as often stolen as bought.
Generally they have their pockets filed with
money, stolen from some relative md their
destination is almost Invariably some western
city. When they find themselves arrested
their courage disappears at once, and one or
the other makes a clean breast Of it.-Globe-
